LA rallies to top Academy at home

The Los Alamos Hilltopper baseball team scored three runs in the bottom of the fifth to knock off the Albuquerque Academy Chargers Tuesday.
Los Alamos allowed a run in the top of the fifth to go down 3-2, but came up with the rally in the bottom of the inning to earn a 5-3 victory at Bomber Field.
The win was the biggest of the season for the Hilltoppers (4-8) who were in need of a victory over another Class 4A opponent — Los Alamos was 2-5 against 4A teams heading into Tuesday’s game — prior to a key nondistrict doubleheader Saturday against Miyamura.
It was the second victory in a row for Los Alamos, which opens District 2-4A play at Bernalillo next week.
Academy (4-5) started off the season just 1-4 but had won three straight prior to Tuesday. Academy this season has allowed just 39 runs (4.33 per game), an outstanding total for a prep-level team, but has scored an anemic 31 runs (3.44 per game) in 2013.
With only a week to go before the start of the District 2-4A season, Los Alamos has the second-best win total of any 2-4A team — Española Valley is 6-2 — and has played by far the toughest schedule of any of those squads. Santa Fe has won three games while both Bernalillo and Capital are winless.
